Reader Ryan Matheson recently participated in a Zombie Walk in Tucson, AZ. Zombie walks involve dozens of people with moulage, dress, and mannerisms mimicing that of the undead. While mainly fun gatherings of limited purpose, they allow both observers and participants to react and plan accordingly to such an outbreak of mass panic or rising of the undead, minus of course live firearms and actuall combat.
Ryans writes us the following first-hand insider account of the Tucson Zombie Walk.

Scores of people in a remote Peruvian village have needed treatment after an object from space – said to be a meteorite – plummeted to Earth in a remote area, officials say. Residents who visited the impact crater complained of headaches and nausea.
Locals described the meteorite as a bright, fiery ball with a smoke trail. The sound and smell rattled residents to the point that they feared for their lives. The meteorite’s impact sent debris flying up to 820 feet (250 meters) away, with some material landing on the roof of the nearest home 390 feet (120 meters) from the crater.

You may think your brain is safe. After all, it’s protected by one of the strongest bones in your body – your skull. Even a flesh-hungry monster or animal would have trouble cracking it open. It’s not impossible of course, but tough to do, even with the jaws of a feral creature.
Have you considered its openings to the outside environment? I’m talking of course about your nose. Nice, wide open passages right to your delicious brain for the rightly adaptive hungry creature – single celled, undead or otherwise. Take for instance, our friendly ancestor The Amoeba.

Doctors in Philadelphia have found a way to reanmiate dead tissue. Let me be clear, as the original article is a little misleading. Doctors have found a way of prolonging decay and physical/mental death in patients who have been pronounced clinically dead.
When a person dies, their cells begin to deteriorate and die as well, leading to what we know as “death”. Prolonging this decay and starving cells and bacteria of oxygen can lead to prolonging one’s death. Children found at the bottom of pools have been successfully revived because their bodies were kept cold and limited of oxygen. During cardiac arrest, the heart stops beating – it’s usually fatal and people are often declared dead within minutes. Doctors at the Hospital of the University of Pennsylvania Hospital are bringing people “back from the dead”.
